Little Giant Ladder Systems levels up professional-grade safety with new Fortress™

SPRINGVILLE, Utah – Little Giant Ladder Systems has introduced Fortress™ as part of the company’s commitment to improve safety for professionals working on job sites. Different from a traditional ladder, Fortress™ breaks the mold by providing a fully enclosed, elevated wraparound standing platform that’s gated and extra-large in size. Fortress™ features lightweight, fiberglass construction, oversized feet and quick and easy setup to ensure the jobsite is safer and simpler for those who work with their hands.

“Little Giant has earned its reputation for making the industry’s safest products, and that commitment is clear with our introduction of Fortress™,” said Keith Van Arsdale, SVP of sales and marketing at Little Giant. “We built Fortress™ to integrate seamlessly into the workday so professionals can trust it to work every time while providing expectation-exceeding safety and ease.”

Little Giant developed Fortress™ to save time and effort. The Simple Setup and Storage One movement enables a user to deploy or fold Fortress™ with a single push or pull of the platform handle. It also offers expert-designed tool tray slots, holes, hooks and a closeable container to store fasteners and other small, loose items.

Safety is intuitive for Fortress™ with features such as a gated work platform that closes to surround the user keeping them safely enclosed, and Ground Cue® that emits an audible “click” when a user steps down onto the first step, signaling when it’s safe to step onto the ground.

Van Arsdale continued, “We know that 20% of ladder accidents happen when a user misses the last step on the climb down … and on a jobsite the consequences are often magnified. Ground Cue® is a simple yet highly effective way that we innovate to prevent injuries and save lives.”

In addition to these key innovations, Fortress™ features Little Giant Ladder Systems’ signature high-visibility green color to ensure professionals stay safe while working in an elevated space. To learn more about Fortress™ please visit LittleGiantLadders.com.
